Camas Lions Club and Salmon Creek Lions Partner with Rotary and Kiwanis for a Successful Harvest at Heritage Farm
October 2024, Vancouver, WA — On a crisp autumn day, members of the Camas Lions Club, the Salmon Creek Lions Club, along with Rotary and Kiwanis, gathered at Vancouver’s 78th Street Heritage Farm for a heartwarming community service project. The event, part of the "Celebrate Community" initiative, brought together these dedicated organizations to focus on a common goal: providing fresh, healthy food to families in need.
Volunteers from all four organizations worked together, harvesting an incredible 4,000 pounds of carrots. The vegetables, carefully picked by the teams, will be delivered to the Clark County Food Bank, where they will soon be distributed to individuals and families struggling with food insecurity.
United in Service
"Knowing that our hard work will help provide fresh, nutritious food to people in our community is truly rewarding," said Camas Lion Tammie Coelho. "This collaboration with Rotary, Kiwanis, and the Salmon Creek Lions Club shows the power of unity and how much we can achieve when we work together."
The Heritage Farm project embodied the spirit of collective service, as volunteers spent the day harvesting produce and building camaraderie. Their efforts exemplified how local service clubs can unite for a greater cause, making a lasting impact on the community.
Addressing Hunger Together
In Clark County, food insecurity is a growing concern, and projects like this one are essential in ensuring fresh, nutritious food reaches those who need it most. The 78th Street Heritage Farm, known for its community-focused efforts, has once again provided a platform for addressing hunger head-on. With every pound of carrots harvested, these dedicated volunteers are making a tangible difference in the lives of local families.
“This harvest is a testament to the power of teamwork,” said Doug Ballou of the Salmon Creek Lions Club. “By working together, Lions Clubs, Rotary, and Kiwanis can make a real difference in fighting hunger.”
Continuing the Mission of Service
The Camas and Salmon Creek Lions Clubs are proud to be part of this effort and remain committed to serving the community through collaboration, dedication, and compassion. Both clubs look forward to participating in future projects that provide critical resources and support to those in need.
